beautiful lake and invites you to swim, hike and enjoy. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Numerous restaurants around the Swiss lake will enchant you with a culinary highlight.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Text and pictures Marc Gottwald<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Whether swimming in Lake Sempach, taking a great lake hike or enjoying food in a great restaurant. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This region has something to offer for everyone. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So let&#8217;s take a closer look at everything.<\/span><\/span><\/p><h2><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Lake Sempach History<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Lake Sempach<\/span><\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> is up to 87 meters deep. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Like Lake Hallwil and most other Swiss lakes, it was also created at the time when the glaciers retreated. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This was the case about 12,000 years ago, when the impressive Reuss glacier retreated at the end of the W\u00fcrm ice age, leaving behind various moraines.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Over time, people settled around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luzern.com\/en\/regions\/lake-sempach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the lake<\/a>, became sedentary and built pile dwellings. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As with all natural lakes, the lake shore was flooded again and again. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the early 19th century, the lake was lowered by almost 2 meters, partly to gain land and reduce the risk of flooding. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This was also done with practically all Swiss lakes and rivers to gain land and minimize flooding. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And that&#8217;s one often he reasons why the preserved nature reserves are so important.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What is exciting is that you could park your ship where the city walls used to be. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is to show approximately how much these just under 2 meters are.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the 20th century, a power plant project was planned for Lake Sempach, but it never came to fruition. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Furthermore, the Swiss lake made headlines in the 1980s and 1990s, especially together with <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/switzerlandbylocals.com\/en\/the-ultimate-lake-hallwil-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Lake Hallwil<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> and <\/span><\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Lake Baldegg<\/span><\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">, because the lakes were practically dead. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This has to do with the fact that there are many pig farms in the region, with manure often running into the lake. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Stronger regulations and artificial aeration of the lake, costing millions, counteracted the problem.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swiss town<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">With a little more than 4200 inhabitants, it is small but very charming. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Nevertheless, the town has grown from 700 inhabitants to 4200 inhabitants within 220 years (as of 2020). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The surrounding area with Lake Sempachersee also makes the Swiss town a place to come back to again and again.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Sempach has an important history behind it. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The name was first mentioned in the 12th century and means reed stream. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But the area around the city and the lake was inhabited much earlier. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Because findings of pile dwellings prove a settlement as early as the Bronze Age.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Furthermore, the city is best known for the &#8220;Battle of Sempach&#8221;. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is because the Swiss city was long held by the Habsburgs (Austria). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Confederates forced the Habsburgs to surrender. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">They became so enraged that they took revenge at the battle. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Today there are still monuments and even a restaurant.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The beautiful town is the ideal starting point for walks and hikes. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You can also visit the Swiss Ornithological Institute. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you want a great view over the lake, you should take a little drive to the heights above Lake Sempachersee. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example Eich is a beautiful place with some great restaurants.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4145\"

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u00a0 is the king&#8217;s stage, because with almost 24 kilometers and a duration of 6 hours, this is the longest hike on Lake Sempach. On one side you hike close to the lake, although unfortunately you can&#8217;t always be completely at the lake. Many properties lie directly on the lake and are private. Lake Hallwil is definitely better for a circular hike. In addition, unlike Lake Hallwil, swimming is only allowed in the public baths.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Nevertheless, there is something magical about Lake Sempach, because the views are simply incredible. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The other half of the lake is also worthwhile, where you can often hike with a view over the lake.<\/span><\/span><\/p><h2><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Hike Sempach to

to Nottwil. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Here you can mostly hike along the Swiss lake and enjoy a wonderful panorama. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You will

possible to take a break during the hike from Sempach to Nottwil and swim and relax at the Sempach or the Nottwil lakeside bath. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Nottwil lakeside bath is free, while the admission to Sempach is 5CHF for adults and 3CHF for children.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There
